The History of London Pt. 4

It's the final instalment in our overview of London's history. We’re into the last 100 years - and it’s chocka! Victorian goes Edwardian, Charles Booth’s poverty map, slum clearance, women’s suffrage, the first London Olympics, the First World War, the SECOND World War, post-war regeneration, The Festival of Britain, high rise estates, decline in the docklands, the Troubles in London, THE BIG BANG and a new millennium. Out of breath yet? Don’t worry, that's the lot.

Next Monday we begin dissecting the map of London with our first area episode, taking in the fresh south London air in Camberwell. Won’t you come and joiners?
